Awhile back I posted someone on Facebook had claimed to find a VHS tape that seemed to contain an unaired episode. Throughout the thread we determined this person might be telling the truth and today I confirmed he was.

After months of silence the guy posted again and provided an unedited video of him playing the tape. Unfortunately we only see a little bit of the episode but it does confirm this was a planned clip show episode with new animation sprinkled in. This also has no voice acting for the new segments which is odd because usually that's the first thing they do.

You can watch the clip yourself here

Now to convince him to upload the whole thing.

The reboot of The Proud Family was meant to have an episode focused on trans identity, but was scrapped in production for unknown reasons (likely because of current political climate). The storyboard for this episode just leaked online!

An episode summary was put up on comicbook.com, saying “The episode in question for The Proud Family: Louder And Prouder was episode 205, titled “They’re Gonna Love Me.” While Disney never officially stated why this episode was banned, fans of the series are theorizing that it’s the character Michael Collins who is the culprit. In the episode, Michael shares their pronouns with the school’s administrator as “they/them,” with the adult diminishing Collins for it. Stating that “this isn’t that kind of school,” going so far as to cross out the “they/them” written on the paper handed to her. The school representative then informs Michael that they will no longer be the director for the school play, creating quite the conundrum for the playwright.”

The episode can now be watched on YouTube, unless it gets taken down.

Hopefully this gets properly archived!

EDIT: Both YouTube uploads of the episode have been copyrighted. Fortunately, somebody added it to archive.org!

Technically already found, except for the 1hr+ documentary! A piece of rare / lost media from the year 2001, created by Taras Tymczyna, based upon his comic series by the same name, this tape was distributed independently by himself. I sorted through some of mom's old VHS tapes and found it, she got it from the creator's webpage and has been in storage longer than I've lived! i found no trace of it online other than a reddit discussion and one other video, figured it'd be neat for people to see again!

Hello everyone,

I'm searching for the original German theatrical dubbing of Disney's Pinocchio (1940) from 1951.

The Library of Congress / Moving Image Research Center has confirmed that they have a German optical soundtrack in the Walt Disney Company Collection, on nitrate positive film dated 1949. Unfortunately, the surviving track in their collection is only about 54 minutes long, while the complete film is approximately 88 minutes.

I'm therefore trying to find out whether a complete 35mm print, VHS recording, audio recording, or another surviving source of the 1951 German dub exists somewhere.

There have also been reports from collectors about old VHS material containing parts of the old German dub, but I have not yet been able to locate a complete version.

Does anyone here own, know of, or have information about a complete 88-minute version of the 1951 German dub?

Even a lead to a private collector, archive, old VHS, 35mm print, or other surviving source would be extremely helpful.

I also have correspondence from the Library of Congress confirming the 1949 nitrate German optical track and can provide screenshots if anyone would like to see the documentation.

Thank you very much for any help! 🙏

Pilot episode of the canceled animated series Volik by the Russian studio FAF Entertainment (Nosov's Neno-Knows on the Moon, 1997).

The series was developed with funding from a foreign client—26 episodes were planned, but full-scale production was never launched after the pilot episode was completed in 1994.

The character design, plot, and storyboards were developed by German animator Harald Siepermann, known for his work on Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Mulan (1998), Tarzan (1999), Treasure Planet (2002), and other projects.

Pre-production on "Volik" later allowed FAF Entertainment to take on "Dunno on the Moon"—the paints and cels purchased for "Volik" were used in the production of "Dunno".

The pilot is voiced in English. There is no Russian audio track. Digitized from a 35 mm negative.
